UFs are supported on a relatively wide range of equipment and OS versions (and even if the current UF doesn't support your older hardware or OS release you can still use an older version of UF within the compatibility boundaries - and sometimes even beyond that but I wouldn't advise running UFs that old anyway).

if I'm not mistaken, the error is from the service trying to connect to a running splunkd instance.

Check your splunkd.log to see what's going on.

Also - how did you install that forwarder? RPM? Or just unpacked the tgz?

@vk2 You can check the below document, Splunk universal forwarder is compatible with Linux OS which is having kernel 4.x or higher. If you have kernel 3.x , Splunk supports this platform and architecture, but might remove support in a future release.
